Is there a Justin Sandercoe/Justinguitar.com version of drawing. I need something to help me draw step by step along with established exercises otherwise I end up mucking around until I quit. I already referred to the sticky but I'm confused on which books to read and in what order. Sorry if it seems like I want to be spoon fed in just very confused. O

Don't make your own threads for shit like this. Go to a beginner thread or a questions thread and ask there instead.
Also, if you're looking for a Justin Sandercoe-esque channel, I guess Proko would be a good place to start.

Drawabox is the closest I've ever found to this. It includes specific excercises to do for each lesson.
The dude who runs it isn't that great though so you'll need to combine the lessons with supplementary material though.
My step dad was tired and said he was gonna go be a lounge lizard. it cracked me up. points for whoever draws the best lounge lizard. really, i have them here.
>>2585005
You sound nice
>>2585214
he's got family.
That's pretty funny, in listening to the lounge lizards right now.
I keep wanting to draw, but something gets in my way mentaly. Sometimes its artists blocl, but most times I get that stupid "what's the point" mental mind set. Anyideas on how to avoid it?

You drew that?
The answer to your question is self control and good habits.
>>2585216
Self discipline not control sorry, but self control is cool too
I kind of like these noir-ish ones, especially with a modern twist. Is there any way of finding the names of art styles?

I have been drawing for a while but when it comes to making an instagram or a facebook page I freak out. I have a medical condition that makes me very socially isolated. My greatest fear is that the people who know me irl and know about my condition will find my art pages and mock me. My second greatest fear is that I am not that good and I won't get followers or likes.
How do people get over these fears?
just do it faggot
>>2584884
You gotta give us more context here. What do you draw? The worst people can do is make fun of you but beyond that nobody really cares. Everyone has their own lives to live and insecurities to deal with.
What is this medical condition and why would anyone mock you for it? Are you talking about being autistic or being trans? I know I am going out on a limb here but it's just a vibe I got, because idk why anyone would mock you for a physical medical condition under the context of your art, so I am assuming...

I used to be the same but then I realise that I need to get feedback on my work and the more you do it the less of a fuck you give about people. Do it for you and fuck everyone else.
What do you think of the new designs so far?
These are awful, Pokemon design is dead.
I like the koala, the hummingbirdbug the dragon thing and the dingo. The rest can go into the trash because of either horrible design or already been done as a species.
I'm still going to buy a copy and waste time playing it though.
Gen 1 was best gen.
Is it okay to give up on a piece/drawing.
I've been on this one for too many days. Not a lot of work on it, but at some point I didn't really enjoyed working on it.
Should I force myself through it ?
I just started studying, I almost never did that before, and for now I'm enjoying it. I'm mostly copying what's in those books and trying to memorize, but that's a beginning. Anyway I'm enjoying it much more than this drawing I'm stuggling with.
the whole process was wrong, I was too enthusiastic and I haven't...

yes, if it doesn't work out, move on to something else
>>2584576
it actually happen quite often, it's not the first time. Is it normal ? Now that i think about it, I don't have much finished work that I still have
>>2584595

What do you think? I haven't done art for about 4 months, and feel rusty. Only 16 and looking for tips

Come back later anon (:
Enjoy the ban.
Your work sucks shit, by the way.
Hey! I have some questions:
-Does an artist name really count in the long run?
-Do people who get freelance work even get asked if said name is actually them? (for example, let's say i post art under the name "1234", is it better to post under that name or my real name?
-Besides the usual "time does its job", how do i and my art more popular? (on the internetz, mainly)
Thanks! :D (pic's not related)

#1) No, people only care if you can deliver the shit they want
#2) Possibly, some ppl want to have work done by a specific person but again, if you can deliver what the client wants most don't give a shit what your name is or who you are
#3) Attention whore by becoming a human photocopier, or drawing whatever is popular at the moment (examples include fanart of the hot new anime, vidya or topic of the moment)
In regards to #3 it helps if it is colorful, sexy and not overly complicated. Visibility...

OP here, thanks!
Regarding your #3) answer, can an artist still stay true to themselves if they're doing fanart/ fandom art?
>>2584519
Do you want an audience quick? Or do you want to do work that you find appealing and nourishes your soul? If you want an audience quick the key is to sell out and pander to them as much as possible. I.E. ignore being "true" to yourself and just give them what they want.
Actually, now I'm confused as to what it is you really want. Do you want to get a following fast and milk them for money? Or do you want to have fun and grow as an artist? It's generally difficult to do both at the same time...

Yo /ic/ I NEED YOUR HELP!!
I'm working on a huge school project due soon, which I worked on during class on the school computers w / Illustrator CC 2015. I saved it to work on it later on my home computer, which has Illustrator CS6 but not CC.
Problem is, Opening a CC file in CS6 results in all the layers being compressed into one and other information missing.
I need someone with Illustrator CC I can send my file to, who will save the file and convert it into CS6 compatible (Make a Copy>Illustrator CS6 (.ai) in file format dropdown menu).
HELP...

When can I stop studying and begin attempting to make finished artwork?
I feel like I might get bored of sketching figures all day, so what comes after? I've never fully rendered anything either.
you should always be trying to apply what you're studying with larger projects. You'll learn more from a large project and you'll have a better understanding of what you need to learn next. Also, focusing on making finished artwork will help with taste and personal style. It's all about balance.

Last time I tried finished stuff, it was when I started drawing in my grade 10 art class. It sucked, and that is why I never attempted painting and stuff ever again. I'll get started tomorrow. Thanks Friend
You should be doing artwork that you enjoy also anon.
Don't let d/ic/ks convince you that you can only study and then branch out.

Before you sleep, put every drawing/painting/sketch you did today into a single png and post it here.

Just take a quick pic with your phone,
I don't know how I can practice figure drawing.
There is this website who allow you to draw several model photos in a restricted time but I don't know if that's really helping.
I want to practice on motions, anatomy and all of that, I have the Loomis PDF but honestly I don't find it really appealing, the whole book is kind of a mess. I don't really get what I'm supposed to do.
I have several photos of references (pic rel, i love that picture), should I simply draw them without taking any measures, just with my eye and my pencil ?
>>2583890
I'm assuming you want to draw figures from imagination
So you could draw this pose just as a skeleton, nothing complicated or detailed just the basic forms.
The muscles on another layers, again just the important ones, knowing their insertions and origins, again, not super accurate,
Additionally you could try to draw the same pose from different angles
>>2583921
Yeah but I'm not able to draw every muscle, and even less drawing from different angles
>>2584043
wow
sounds like maybe u might want to think about
***practicing***
Was high. What do you see? There are many things that make up the drawing. See if you can guess.
..........
Work on it while you are sober now. post rezults.
